In the last century, molecular crystals functioned predominantly as a means for determining
the molecular structures via X-ray diffraction, albeit as the century came to a close the …

Abstract The Multicomponent Isoreticular Metal-Organic Frameworks (MI-MOFs) are the
materials designed either with multiple linkers or mixed-metals as secondary building units …

Plastic crystals (PCs), formed by certain types of molecules or ions with reorientational
freedom, offer both exceptional mechanical plasticity and long range order, hence they are …

The anticipated shift in the focal point of interest of solid-state chemists, crystal engineers,
and crystallographers from structure to properties to function parallels the need to apply our …

Living tissue uses stress-accumulated electrical charge to close wounds. Self-repairing
synthetic materials, which are typically soft and amorphous, usually require external stimuli …

Non-centrosymmetric molecular crystals have a plethora of applications, such as
piezoelectric transducers, energy storage and nonlinear optical materials owing to their …

Organic crystals possessing both flexibility and light‐guiding properties are attractive
candidates for spatial control of the light output for next‐generation technological …

We present the one‐dimensional optical‐waveguiding crystal dithieno [3, 2‐a: 2′, 3′‐c]
phenazine with a high aspect ratio, high mechanical flexibility, and selective self …

Organic single crystals (OSCs) with excellent flexibility and unique optical properties are of
great importance due to their broad applicability in optical/optoelectronic devices and …

Aiming to solve the trade‐off of “room‐temperature phosphorescence (RTP)–flexibility” in
principle, organic RTP crystals with elastic/plastic deformation are realized. These properties …
